pastor emeritus, but wa. too alck to
appear In the pulpit, raw then
realiied that his la.l aermon had
twen preached.
Dr. Miller had been with the peo
ple of Charlotte for Ji years, barring
short period during the war when
he wa. at IVter.hurg. He flr.t ba
carue pastor of the church here, lu
1H.V, and continued for two years.
Then ha went to Petersburg, and i
look charge of the Tabb streat Pree
bvterian church. He gave up that
charge lu W6 and relumed to Char
lode, since which lime he had con
llnuou.ly served a pastor of the First
Presbyurlan ehurch. It Is a matter
not only difficult, but really Imprac
ticable to attempt a sketch of the life
of thi eminent mau In au ordinary
newapaper article That is properly
a matter for the piges of history, and
we can only confine ouraelf to a brief
J reel lal of facts regarding bia life.
Dr. Miller wa one of the original
' member present at th organisation
of Mecklenburg Presbytery on Octo
ber lHtb. Ittisft. Of the mlulster then
present, Rev. R. 7. Johnston aud per
hapa two other, are now the only
orvlvor. An historical sketch of
Mecklenburg Presbytery wa pre
pared by Rev, Wm. E. Mcllwain In
1884, and from ita page we copy the
following iu reference to Dr. Miller's
work: During th second pastorate
of th Rev. Dr. Miller, extending
from l.siio to the present ( March IsM)
44-1 persons hav been received, and
of these, 3 are now minister of the
goepel, vU: Rv. W. W. Moore aod
Richard 8, Burwell, received on pio
feeslon of faith ; and Rev. Horace M.
Whaling, on certificate. During these
year the Second church was organ
ised from the FiMt church. On tbe
6th of October 1H75, a petition signed
by 16 persons, all of tbem members of
the First church except one, was read
by Dr. Miller to Mecklenburg Pres
bytery, then In session In the First
church, asking for the organisation
of a Second church in the city of
Charlotte. This petition w as granted
and 21 of the 30 members who enter
ed the organisation were from the
First church, and other from time to
time have united with the Second
church. And yet the First church
has now (March 1884) 0 members,
thus showing a net gain overall losses
by death and removal of mora than
120, whilst the growth In the two
churches In Charlotte has been from

to ten week., and traveling some
time after leaving th railroad a

But Dr. MIHer's work Is not all em

aeveral young ministers out of b'.

Dr. Millet waaborn In Charleston,
H. C, and wa a loyal southerner. He
waa preeminently a learned man,
and undoubtedly the ablest minister
of the State. He possessed a library
of rare value, and among the treas
ure which he collected are many
proof sustaining the authenticity of
the Mecklenburg Declaration of In
dependence. The matter which b
baa collected upon this subject is In
valuable to the historian.
